You don't tank a company and your reputation like this if you're not unhinged.
You don't ban people linking to a competitor if you're not pathetic.
You don't fire the entire engineering team only to roll out a half baked checkmark, only to have to remove it a couple weeks later if you're not ignorant.
Anyone that treats other people, and especially their own coworkers, with as much contempt and cruelty as Elon has is absolutely a fuck.
Unhinged pathetic ignorant fuck it is.
Please read the rules and stick to them: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. They've been largely the same for many years.
"unhinged": Elon Musk's actions for the past few months have been intensely erratic. He clearly meets the definition of "unhinged".
"pathetic": can either be interpreted as "pitiable" or "inadequate/disappointing". Watching his descent into madness is certainly capable of eliciting pity. As for the second definition, everyone who is now being disabused of their formerly high opinion of him could call him inadequate or disappointing.
"ignorant": this is the easiest one, Elon Musk has repeatedly (some might say incessantly) expressed beliefs that belie a complete lack of understanding of the topics at hand (made all the more frustrating by his extreme arrogance and overconfidence). Whether he is doing it deliberately for attention or whether he is truly as gormless as he appears to be, this description is accurate.
"fuck": sadly, this is one of the most flexible words in the English language, so it will be difficult to ascertain its descriptive veracity.
You're right, we should all emulate PG and just assume Musk is right instead of having the intestinal fortitude to call out grifters and stop encouraging idolatry of these pieces of shit.
